    PS: It¡¯s the last few days, and the author is also working hard ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ January 15, Republic 2783 (1943 AD), the White House.  ¡°¡­¡± U.S. President Garner sat in front of his computer and remained silent.  This is an Asus-6 personal computer. The latest version of the computer currently available on the international market uses a 32-bit processor. In terms of functionality, it is roughly equivalent to the later Pentium 2.  Of course, there are better ones in China, but those are not open to the public.  The current price of personal computers is still relatively expensive, and it is far from being available to almost everyone like later generations.  Apart from China itself, the American people are the largest user group.  Among them, it is mainly used by governments, military, schools, research institutes and companies.  When China began exporting personal computers in 1934, the world's major powers went crazy.  They are all looking for ways to copycat, but the technical gap is too big, and the integrated circuits and other things inside completely exceed their process capabilities.  And because personal computers in this dimension have used Windows operating systems from the beginning, the ability to prevent copycats is even better. Not only the hardware, but also the software cannot be copied.  Because the personal computers launched in China in this dimension have a rather disgusting design, that is, users cannot program them themselves.  Therefore, if you want to use Chinese computers, you must buy genuine software. For at least thirty years, foreign countries will not be able to copy or compile software. As for copycat hardware, it is estimated that it will take another ten years, and they will not be able to do so within forty years.  I want to create a personal computer of this level.  Of course Cactus can afford it, he bought this computer himself.  What silenced him now was not a computer problem.  It's what's on the display.  The page displayed on the browser is the official website of the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The specific content is some industrial and agricultural data released by the Chinese government in 1942.  Of course, for the sake of accuracy, Ghana is reading the original Chinese version. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t understand some words. There are plug-in translation software.  It¡¯s not that Cactus doesn¡¯t understand, but the astronomical numbers above are shocking.  The output of raw steel is 1.2 billion tons, the output of raw coal is 2.7 billion tons, the output of oil is 100 million tons, the output of yarn is 20 million tons, the output of grain is 1.2 billion tons, the power generation is 23.8 billion megawatts, the operating railway is 860,000 kilometers, and the number of merchant ships is 1.  1.4 billion tons What kind of Godzilla monster is this?  Moreover, these data are only China's own production, and do not include the bunch of satellite countries of the People's Revolutionary Alliance.  The most important thing is that China is not mobilizing now and is just producing according to routine, uh, more than usual because there are too many orders, so these data are not the limit.  "Hey" Although China's industrial industry has long surpassed that of the United States, Ghana has a deep sense of powerlessness when seeing the shocking data that makes people speechless.  In fact, Cactus students don¡¯t know that China¡¯s current industrial and agricultural output is the result of Wen Desi¡¯s suppression, which was out of considerations of sustainable development.  If it were explosive, these data would be even more shocking.  "Damn, how much do the Chinese love steelmaking! 1.2 billion tons! Each of them can get 1,300 kilograms of steel! It's crazy!" Garner muttered while drinking coffee.  There is no way, the steel production of the United States has just exceeded 100 million tons, and the difference between the two countries is almost 11 times!  This is a desperate number.  At this time, Ghana turned the page with the mouse. The statistics of China¡¯s imported materials were also shockingly large.  Suddenly, Ghana discovered a problem with this table. Only iron ore, copper ore, coal and bulk materials such as grain, meat, and wood were detailed, but many types were not available, and some quantities were problematic.  For example, for uranium mines, the data released by China¡¯s National Bureau of Statistics only shows a ¡°small amount¡±.  China has been importing uranium ore and rare earths from the United States since 1909.  Garner remembers it very clearly because his family owned several uranium mines. The 1920s and 1930s were the peak of China's uranium imports, with more than 300,000-400,000 tons imported from the United States every year. After the outbreak of World War II, exports declined.  , but there were also 280,000 tons last year.  Of course, the uranium ores bought by China are all ores that have only gone through preliminary trials, and the average grade is about 1%.  ¡°280,000 tons is still a small amount!?¡± Garner thought this was too shameless.  But this is not important. What is important is that Ghana finally remembered something about uranium mines.  It was the 1940s, and several scientists in the United States proposed to him that a super bomb could be made using uranium.  In the original time and space, this matter was proposed by Enrico Fermi in 1938.  As for the history of this plane, Wen Desi has been carrying out the "Pig Teammate" plan since 1910, smuggling some important and well-known scientists to China, or completely distorting their majors, and at the same time using the resources at his disposal.  A vigorous ban on things related to nuclear fission weapons.But we all know that human thoughts cannot be imprisoned. Even with Wen Desi's strong intervention, these related theoretical studies have only been delayed, not disappeared.  In the original time and space, several important figures in the U.S. nuclear weapons program, such as Einstein and Fermi, were abducted to China. Some others were led astray by their "pig teammates", and some others encountered various encounters.  Kind of unexpected.  But after human science and technology develop to a certain level, other people will appear.  The famous people from the original time and space are gone, but other talents have arrived.  After all, the United States is also the second largest industrial country in the world. It is only normal that there are a few nuclear physicists who were ignored in the original time and space.  Not only the United States, but also top powers such as Germany, Britain and the Soviet Union have gradually learned about the theory of atomic bombs.  And another very important reason is that China launched computers in advance.  As we all know, computers are an important technology accelerator in China.  After such a plus and minus, the theoretical research on nuclear weapons in this plane is only delayed by two or three years compared to the original time and space.  Of course, for Wen Desi, this time is enough.  But at the time, Garner didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. He felt that the theory of using ore to make bombs was too subversive of his common sense, and it was a complete fantasy.  However, when he learned that Er Dezi and the Soviet Union were also studying this kind of weapon, he took it a little more seriously and ordered the establishment of a "Uranium Advisory Committee" to make a preliminary assessment of related issues.  However, he had not really realized the importance of the atomic bomb at that time, so this department was almost forgotten by him.  The content on today¡¯s webpage suddenly reminded him, so he immediately called an official from the ¡°Uranium Advisory Committee¡± to inquire about the progress.  Lyman Briggs, chairman of the "Uranium Advisory Committee", soon came with a lot of information.  So Comrade Cactus knew a lot of news, some good, some bad, and some unknown.  After nearly two years of a bureaucratic evaluation process, the committee gave him a clear answer.  Er Dezi is indeed developing the atomic bomb, which is bad news.  But there aren't many uranium deposits on German soil, and that's good news.  The other bad news is that there aren¡¯t many uranium deposits on U.S. and allied soil either.  The last bad news is that Germany and the United States do not have much uranium ore stock. The reason is the massive purchases by China and some companies "God, how much uranium ore did the Chinese sell?" Ghana was shocked.  .  "Mr. President, we cannot know the specific quantity, because according to our investigation, the mining volume of uranium ore suddenly increased starting in 1909. This kind of ore was not popular before, and only some scientists and laboratories would buy it in small quantities.  After 1909, a large number of uranium ore orders suddenly appeared on the market. "Isn't it from China?" "Of course there are Chinese ones. They buy them in the name of personal scientific experiments, universities, research institutes, etc.  However, the quantity is less than one-tenth of the order quantity. The other parts were bought by some companies, but these companies exist in various countries. We also investigated all related American companies and found that these companies also changed hands, so these uranium mines were sold.  We will not know the final flow unless we can survey all countries" Briggs took out a list and said: "Based on the available data, we estimate that in the 33 years from 1909 to 1942, the world's mining industry  The amount of uranium ore sold is about 18 million tons. This data is incomplete, but the United States itself exports 6.2 million tons. Among them, it can be confirmed that at least 2 million tons have flowed into China. It should be confirmed by joining.  Less than 7 million uranium ores have flowed into China" "Yes, those vest companies are owned by Wen Desi, but they obviously underestimated the amount that Wen Desi collected.  In recent years, Wen Desi has been searching around the world, purchasing nearly 30 million tons of uranium ore under various names and from Majia companies. Basically, among the uranium ores currently known and proven to be easy to mine in the United States, 95  % were bought.  What remains is pitchblende, which is difficult to mine and much more expensive, and more uranium-containing phosphates.  (Note that the quantity here refers to the quantity of primary ore, not the quantity of uranium metal) "Mr. President, the committee's recommendation is that the United States needs to immediately restrict the export of all uranium ore in the country and in controlled areas to prevent the continued loss of uranium ore.  . The same should be true for the Western Alliance allies" Ghana felt a chill running down his spine.  He personally didn't really believe in any secret weapons, because he knew the strength of the United States. Even at the last moment, the United States still had hundreds of thousands of tons of poison gas available for use, which was much more powerful than the atomic bombs described by scientists.  .  "But if you don't have something that others don't have, it doesn't matter. However, since China has purchased so much uranium ore, this atomic bomb may not be theirs."??It was as simple as I thought.  He hurriedly asked: "Has China built an atomic bomb?" "I'm sorry, Mr. President," Briggs shrugged: "We can't assess this. If you want to ask me what I think, I can only say  , even if China has not yet built an atomic bomb, they should still be developing related technologies. However, China has gone very far in the research of nuclear power generation. Since 1929, they have begun to develop new energy in the name of the country.  "Why? Tell us your reasons." "Mr. President, according to our investigation, China has banned the export of all radioactive minerals, including uranium, since 1910.  Mining is prohibited, and in the official information published by China, there is extremely little information about radioactive mineral deposits. This is abnormal. We believe that this is intentionally covered up by the Chinese government, but they continue to use it in the name of scientific research or other reasons.  Uranium ore is being searched and purchased all over the world. Whether it is us or major powers such as Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and the Soviet Union, there are more or less scientists who are studying nuclear physics and have achieved varying degrees of success in nuclear weapons."  "China also has a group of scientists who specialize in nuclear physics, but most of their research results in recent years are about nuclear power generation, which are of a very high level. Their results on nuclear weapons are mediocre and they have not produced a single valuable paper. We are very worried.  It¡¯s hard to believe that people who know so much about nuclear power generation don¡¯t know about nuclear weapons, because the two are very close. It¡¯s hard to imagine that they would use all their uranium mines to study how to generate electricity. In academia, this is.  It's very abnormal!" Garner said solemnly: "That's true. I know Wen Desi. He is very concerned about various energy projects. In recent years, he has promoted the development of several new energy technologies, such as wind power.  , tidal power generation, geothermal power generation, solar power generation, etc. I also know that China has built several experimental nuclear power plants, but even if it wants to develop nuclear power plants, it does not need to purchase millions of tons of uranium ore, nor does it need to ban China.  When it comes to uranium exports, no one will compete with him for uranium ores. " "You are right, it is true. I have visited several nuclear power plants in China. Judging from the scale, they definitely cannot use that much uranium.  Mine. This thing can't be eaten as bread" Garner stood up and said, "Mr. Briggs, draw up a plan immediately, and I will approve it immediately. The United States must start research on atomic bombs and atomic energy as soon as possible.  . In addition, any uranium export in the United States will be banned from now on!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. President.¡± Briggs was about to leave, but was stopped by Garner.  "Mr. Briggs, please set up a task force as soon as possible to comprehensively assess China's current scientific and technological level. I mean all, all aspects." Garner ordered.  Now Ghana has regretted going to war with Japan. Although Japan is now taking the initiative to attack South Africa, China and the People's Revolutionary League have no obligation to participate in the war, but who can say for sure?  Didn't the United States play the same way back then, finding excuses to end the game while remaining neutral?  Now the United States is very timid in South Africa and does not dare to attack Japan itself, just because it is afraid of provoking Godzilla China, but can it be difficult to find excuses these days?
